Have you removed the fuel line insulation yet?

not yet. Very busy working. Still have to buy the pair of rubber hoses and fittings. I think they ar 3/8!

I did received some stainless Steel bolts from zcardepot. Supplier is excellent! However, the head of the bolts he sent me are 13mm bolts instead of the original 12mm bolts. Should i stick with the original ones that are rusted and which head is 12mm or will this 13mm head fit fine?

The fitment of the new ss bolts will be fine. They are just not factory correct if originality is a concern.

The original bolts were cleaned with wd40 and a toothbrush. They work but are a Little rusted. Should i use the originals instead of the 13mm Stainless Steel ones?
